Altamira Blend 2008, by Vistaflores Estate, USD 30
www.vistafloresestate.com
A blend made a third each Malbec, Merlot (from La consulta Departament) and Cabernet Sauvignon (from Tupungato Departament) of Uco Valley, Mendoza.
A delicate yet expressive red well balanced and attractive. Not bombastic neither memorable. Good fruity core mostly red and black cherries with a nice pinch of oregano and fresh bayleaf. Smooth tannins and nice passage through the palate. An 89 point red probably walking plateau by 4-6 years old.
I feel it a little bit overpriced as payed here, but this is my bias.
